http://www.watch2uwear.com When it comes to innovative materials and unheard-of technologies applied to watchmaking, no Swiss watch manufacture can outperform Richard Mille. This niche luxury brand made a name for itself with a revolutionary approach to the old art of Fine Watchmaking and opened the door to a new type of products expressing the very best of Horology with the help of what the twenty first century can offer from a technical and aesthetic standpoint.One of the latest (and already copied) innovations from this impressive Maison is the use of a new type of material for the case of the watch: North Thin Ply Technology carbon, or NTPT carbon in short. This new version of carbon fibre material, originally developed for the sails of racing yachts, represents a true revolution in the world of laminate composites with its significantly improved mechanical properties and has quickly found its way into Formula One car chassis and into the fuselage of the future Solar Impulse 2 aircraft before being used in watchmaking. To be technical for one second, the main advantage of this material composed of multiple layers of parallel filaments obtained by dividing carbon fibres is that the manufacturing process allows positioning each microfiber optimally for its intended use, with no limitation to angle, area or thickness! This must come in handy when producing complex watch cases like the tonneau-shaped models produced by Richard Mille.

Indeed, this newcomer in the carbon family provides a unique and immediately identifiable texture unlike any other carbon fibres or forged carbon composites. It features sort of an organic, wood-like texture due to the fact that the direction of the weft of carbon filaments is modified (like twisted) when woven.The very first model to benefit from this innovative material was the RM 011 NTPT Carbon that I reviewed in November 2013 and since then, the brand has used this appealing material only for the RM 035-01 Rafael Nadal and the RM 050-01 Lotus F1 Team Romain Grosjean presented at the SIHH 2014 and both included in my coverage of the 2014 collection.Now, the brand is treating one of its most important markets, North America, with a special boutique edition proudly showcasing this amazing material on its bezel. The RM 011 Yellow Storm will be limited to just 50 pieces sold exclusively through the American boutique network and I strongly encourage all watch lovers to stop on Via Rodeo in Beverly Hills on their next trip to Los Angeles to see it in person at the superb mono-brand boutique opened there by Westime.The model selected for this special edition hardly needs introduction: the RM 011 is arguably one of the most iconic watches presented by Richard Mille. Immediately recognisable with its 50.00 x 40.00 mm tonneau-shaped case and skeletonized dial, the watch boasts some of the finest (and useful) watchmaking complications. It features a chronograph with a flyback function as well as an annual calendar with a large date at noon and a more discreet month indication at 4:30.

Richard Mille Watches Replica After a five-year calm Formula 1 will return to the United States of America in November, 2012. Now the watch companies may let themselves go! So, Richard Mille, the Swiss watch company, celebrated the return of the popular racing, that inspired it for the creation of its iconic watches, and released a new limited edition of Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa Flyback Chronograph CARBON in a carbon case. The famous racer and Richard Mille’s good friend Felipe Massa worked together with the watch company on the creation of Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa Flyback Chronograph CARBON design. By the way, the virtuoso Felipe Massa will take part in the U.S. Formula 1 for the first time in five years. But perhaps he’ll drop everything and leave for the watchmaking career after such a fruitful collaboration with Richard Mille. he RM011 Yellow Storm is 50-piece limited edition offered exclusively through Richard Mille boutiques in the Americas, starting with the Beverly Hills and Las Vegas locations. Though keepin with the general traits of Richard Mille’s RM011 series (an automatic flyback chronograph watch), this particular RM011 is cased in Mille’s super-cool NTPT carbon case. Loud and unmistakably Mille, the NTPT carbon case along with bright yellow strap (with titanium DLC buckle) and accents make the Yellow Storm a watch that will draw lots of attention to the wrist – just what many Mille wearers would like, I’d guess. I know I sure would love wearing a watch like this!

The other specifications of the watch are an innovative design, an automatic wound skeletonized movement with adjustable rotor geometry, 60-minute counter, 12-hour totalizer, annual calendar, 55-hour power reserve and oversized date and month indicators. The watch is water resistant up to 50 meters. The recognizable tripartite case of black carbon (50 x 40 x 16.15 mm) makes the unique contrast with the bright yellow elements: leather strap, hands, indexes, the inner side of a bezel, crown protector and a rotor detail. The helmet at “7 o’clock” position on the dial adds a special sporty touch to the whole watch design.Richard Mille, the Swiss watch company, pleased its fans with the release of just 30 new timepieces. All the limited edition watches will be on sale in Richard Mille’s Beverly Hills boutique, in California. The Formula 1 Grand Prix will take place in the U.S. city of Austin, Texas, on November 16-18, 2012.

Well, I wish the racer success and I’m looking forward to the new watches from Richard Mille!
